\nYou may have heard about dental implants<\/a>
\nand how effective they are, but do you know why they\u2019re so effective? It\u2019s
\nbecause of how they\u2019re structured and how they interact with your smile.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNatural teeth are made up of two parts: the tooth itself,
\nwhich is what everyone sees, and the root underneath that anchors each tooth to
\nthe jaw. A full row of healthy teeth is important for smiling, speaking clearly
\nand enjoying a nutritious diet. Meanwhile, your tooth roots have the very
\nimportant job of holding those teeth in place and keeping the jaw healthy
\nthroughout life.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhat happens when you lose one or more teeth? You not only
\nlose what\u2019s on top, you also lose the root underneath. As a result, you\u2019ll
\neventually lose bone tissue where the root was. Traditional bridges, partials
\nand dentures replace what you\u2019ve lost but don\u2019t replace the part of your smile
\nresponsible for keeping the rest of your jaw strong and healthy.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe only service that replaces missing roots is dental implants<\/b>. Using small posts made
\nof titanium\u2014a biocompatible metal\u2014this restorative service can help you achieve
\nresults that look natural and functional naturally as well. Imagine smiling
\nwith confidence and enjoying all your favorite foods again. With dental implants<\/b> from Smile by Design<\/b>, Dr. Santos<\/b> and Dr. Folck<\/b>

\nconsultation. Dr. Santos<\/b> and Dr. Folck<\/b> want to help you enjoy
\noptimal oral health, and for some patients dental
